Item name must be mapped-error message

[praba71]

 Hi

I have the list comp_pr_po_supply and trying to import data from the datafile in my computer. During mapping, I am getting the message ,Item Name must be mapped for the property comp_pro_po_supply.  

I assume I am getting this message because comp_pr_po_supply has been setup as a list item. But, I don't find that in my setup. Can you help me to decode this error?

Thanks

Your list is a general list and not a Numbered list hence it will ask you to match first mapping (which is Name), hence the error. If you want Anaplan to create a unique key(which is no way a best practice) convert the list into a Numbered list and then load the data.

Thanks @Misbah  for the quick response..

I do not want the numbered list and want to match the first mapping to the property 'Unique'. Can you guide me how to set that up?

Thanks again

My Solutions would be

Please stay away from Combination of Properties and get  a unique code for each entry 

If you have to use combination of property then your list has to be Numbered List & not General List

If you don't want to use Numbered List then there is another option - But I don't advocate that to anyone.

hi @praba71 

you can create unique item name in source file and map that to the name column , however here there is a limit of 60 characters length as it is a general list, you need to populate the name of list items as anaplan generates items based on the name as it must be unique, duplicates will be ignored
